Mrs. Venation is free of the cast! Celebrate with me! |
|
in short: In 2007 she fell off a ladder and broke her wrist. It was never pain-free after that, and a hand specialist told her it didn't heal right. She has been in a cast since surgery on April 20.
Today the cast came off, the five pins came out (painlessly), and she is free! She has to wear a brace for a month. Tomorrow she begins physical therapy.
Celebrate with me!

Is she expected to regain the full range of motion? Those wrist injuries can be tricky.
Best of luck to her for PT.
:hug: for both of you.

4. No, she'll lose some range of motion. |
|
But to lose the pain is worth it. :hi:

5. There is a Marge Piercy poem titled "The Cast Off" |
|
companion piece to "The Cast"; seems her husband was in one once. Can't find it lying around, though.

7. Oh, that's got to feel good for her. |
|
I've never broken anything and can't imagine how frustrating a cast must be, once the pain is taken care of.
Good luck to her rehab!

Hi, I hope she heals well. My Mom broke her wrist years and years ago and has had some strength issues ever since.
Peace
